title: [Lymph flow and the development of the lymph nodes in human fetuses].
abstract: Since its anlage lymph node forms as a functional anastomosis between lymph and blood vessels. They make a complex with intimate anatomotopographic interrelations and their branches--an interconnected system, within which intervascular connective tissue transforms into lymphoid one. Interstitial canals networks may play a role of connecting "bridges" during lymphatic sinuses and blood microvessels unification with lymphoid tissue into a specific functional complex of counterflow system (arteries/veins--lymphatic vessels). On this basis histo- and morphogenesis of lymph node as a part of lymphatic bed occur. Lymph node uneven growth due to their depositing and resorptive function development allows to explain peculiarities of central lymph flow in human embryos.
